In preparation to enabling -Wvla, remove VLA. In this particular case use macro ARRAY_SIZE so the length of array _bo_ can be computed at preprocessing time. The use of stack Variable Length Arrays needs to be avoided, as they can be a vector for stack exhaustion, which can be both a runtime bug or a security flaw. Also, in general, as code evolves it is easy to lose track of how big a VLA can get. Thus, we can end up having runtime failures that are hard to debug. Also, fixed as part of the directive to remove all VLAs from the kernel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/7/621 Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R.
